You may know Steve Jobs as the person who invented the iPod or iPad. What you may not know about him are all his accomplishments and risks he had to take to become the person whom he was. Steve Jobs was not only a person who invented things, he was an innovator who encouraged people to try new things. Steve Jobs has made an impact in my life, and this essay is going to be the explanation of why Steve Jobs should be recognized as a high intellectual person who gave hope to people in the world.
Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 in the city of San Francisco. His biological parents gave him for adoption. During Steve Jobs’ youth he was not very interested in his education, it was until he entered high school that he met Stephen Wozniak with whom he worked on several projects and pulled pranks at school. With his adoptive father, Jobs spent years building things out of scratch. He developed a passion for creating things. Jobs wanted to create something that would revolutionize the world. After high school, Steve Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Roughly 6 months later, Jobs dropped out of college to pursue his career and be involved in creative classes. He had an end in mind of everything he wanted to do.
In the next years, Jobs along with Wozniak, started Apple Computers. They developed a smaller computer that was portable and available to everyday consumers. By 1980 Apple Computers became a publicly traded company. However, after several years, IBM surpassed Apple Computers and Jobs was said to be bad for the company, so he left.

If I could, I would really want to be a person like he is, and stick to what I believe in and leave a legacy in this world. I believe that anybody in this world could do it, like he did. Even though Steve Jobs is not here with us anymore, he would have wanted people to know that a single idea is what can revolutionize the world completely, and that without any risks, you cannot change the world, for the good. But, as Steve Jobs said, “Things don’t have to change the world to be important.”
Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple computers, was influenced by the very same transcendental ideas expressed by Ralph Waldo Emerson, namely self-reliance and determination.

And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.” This is what Malcom describes as qualities that work has to have to be satisfying—autonomy, complexity, and a connection between effort and reward.
